Things To Do in Cape Coral-Bert's
I love the water and therefore I am lucky to live in Cape Coral. One of my favorite Things To Do in Cape Coral is dine with a view of the water. My husband, daughter, and I recently drove out to Matlacha (pronounced MAT la shay) to try out Bert’s Bar & Grill. Matlacha, an old fishing village, is in-between Cape Coral and Pine Island and is home to quaint shops and cottages. 
The unassuming blue building was built in the 1930’s and features 3 entrances. If you’re like me, you’ll navigate towards the open doorway on the right and head out back for a table with a view of Matlacha Pass. It is a ‘Seat Yourself’ establishment that has indoor and outdoor seating, a bar and pool tables, and a dock available for boaters to tie up. Live music is featured nightly.
Although we intended to order the All You Can Eat Fish Fry (Wed and Fri from 4:00-9:00) they were already sold out by the time we arrived. We ordered baskets of wings, fish tacos, and fried shrimp instead and were quite satisfied. Their menu contains an array of seafood, salads, sandwiches, chicken, and burgers. The food is made to order so ask the server for a cold drink while you enjoy the scenery.
Bert’s has a great laid-back atmosphere and a picture perfect setting, although don’t expect to see the sunset as the restaurant is on the left side of Pine Island Road (as you’re headed west).
We’ll make sure we arrive earlier next time to enjoy the fish fry!
